Quote: And, although you're welcome to fly to St. Louis and visit Honeypot, I'm on the other side of the state over in Kansas City. And I am ready to watch my W get her butt kicked.
Oops. Knew someone lived in St. Louie.... okay, flight plan has been duly adjusted.
Quote: As for Buddhism, I know it's a philosophy, but she did go through some ceremony whereby a lady named Khandro Rinpoche gave her a Tibetan name.
There are two kinds of Buddhists. Those who spout Buddhist teachings, and those who understand what is as it is. I'm thinking your wife's 'name changing' ceremony did nothing but fuel the fodder spout and feed her false sense of altruism. My H has always told me never to get into a pissing fight with a skunk, 'cuz even winning means losing... but I'm thinking you need to send her 'certificate of authenticity' back to the Buddhist camp, tell her she does not pass Go and she doesn't get to collect her $200 bucks, she's failed the course, lock, stock and barrel.
By the by, you will never catch a Buddhist who has achieved final attainment speak of enlightenment -- a very good sign that she has not reached final attainment herself. You did not objectify the model, all you did was make a sound. Your wife objectified the model by interpreting your sound and assigning negative connotations to it... and then proceeded to berate you and the model for the 'objectification.'
Next time your wife makes a feminist comment to you, and waits for your response, look her in the eye and simply say "Mu." When she asks you what that means (eventually), say to her, "you're the Buddhist, you tell me."
She'll argue that she's never heard of such a thing, it doesn't exist, you are spouting nonsense. If you want to know what it is and why I think it would apply let me know, and I'll share. It'll really piss her off because she will NOT get it.

Thanks for the sentiments, HD. Much appreciated. We'll know for certain what we are facing in terms of severity by the 10th. Until then, please keep us in your thoughts and prayers...
